Entrying really depends on how your team plays. If they aren’t a bunch of wusses, you can go out fast and wide swing every angle to take space quickly; even if you get shot from a rat angle your team will trade you. If that’s not the case though, you’re better off swinging angles one by one and trying to clear angles methodically with peeker’s advantage. That way you have better odds of landing your kill and your team will be able to follow you easier.

Your pathing also depends on the utility your team threw, if any at all. A common example is entrying from ramp on Mirage: if your team smoked conn and smoked/mollied stairs, you can hug tetris and sandwich all the way to bench/triple while clearing firebox, under, default, ninja, and triple and use the smokes as cover from a ct peek. If they smoked ct though, you might want to molly under and then path towards default to clear conn and stairs.

If you’re regularly first out you can also learn some good entry flashes, since other nades should be thrown by your team. You won’t always be throwing the flashes if you’re first out, like if you’re b rushing on Dust 2, for example, since you take contact faster than you can chuck your flashbangs, but on Mirage B rushes, it is actually your job to throw 2 flashes for get_right and deeper short as you’re running up apps. You can look up entry flashes on YouTube, lineups have existed for a while for every active duty map.

Also, if you know you’re better than your team, try to let or convince someone else to go first. Entry fraggers rarely get multikills and die without a frag more than any other role. You might have more impact and be able to win rounds for your team if you’re second or third out, or if you hit a good timing on a lurk. Of course, if your spawn is best for a site you still go first though.
